Technology and Future of Medicine Teaching for Medical

StudentsNovember 10, 2016

Kim Solez, MD

The Essence of LABMP 590 Course http://www.singularitycourse.com Distilled Down to 4 Hours

1. Two hours October 21st from Drs. Kim Solez, Jonathan White, and Rich Sutton.

2. Two hours today November 10th from Drs. Shawna Pandya and Kim Solez.

3. The suggestion that we teach you directly about the future like this came from 1st year medical students last year, people just like you!

Learning ObjectivesAt the end of this 4 hours of teaching, students will be able to:• Describe some of the ways in which rapid technological change is anticipated to affect the practice of medicine in the next 100 years, with specific reference to artificial intelligence, newly emerging technology and human enhancement.• Describe the concepts of Moore’s law, exponential change, and the technological singularity• Discuss some of the ethical issues associated with rapid technological advancement in medicine.

Qualitative Learning Outcomes• Students become more flexible in dealing with change in technology and medicine during their careers.• Students become more informed in considering how changes in medicine may affect their career choices.• Students develop new ways of thinking about concepts relating to technology.• Students are empowered to get involved to ensure changes in medicine are positive for patients and for society in general.

I spoke at Singularity University Reunion in August 2011 about “Mainstreaming the Singularity in Universities and Beyond”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pID1f8Hn5Q Stephen Long, the main technology advisor to the Joint Chiefs of Staff of US military, spoke right after me addressing “National Security Implications of the Technological Singularity”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4RVQWsz7LE“It is not a question of if, the only real question is when.” (7.41)

A Self-Referential LectureLeonard Cohen’s Hallelujah has self-referential lyrics“Well it goes like this:The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift”Talking about the actual notes being played.

Talking about what we are doing right now, teaching you about the future of medicine. In response to the last teaching session some of you said you wanted “more lectures like this”. In this introduction I am going to discuss some of the options for more lectures like this.

Quantum Biology/Nanotechnology Teaching Impractical/Inefficient

At http://www.youtube.com/user/kimsolez you can see in those LABMP 590 lectures we spend much of the time teaching you quantum mechanics and nanotechnology basics. For those who already know quantum mechanics and nanotechnology basics that would be boring, inefficient teaching for medical students.

You Will Encounter Others Teaching Regenerative Medicine/Stem Cells

Timothy Caulfield and James Shapiro are among the most highly regarded teachers in the University. You will inevitably encounter them teaching you directly. You don’t need us teaching you about stem cell generation of organs, tissue repair, bio-artificial organs, and the ethics of these areas as you will get that from others.

Ethics of the Future One Possible Area for Expansion of Our Teaching

Issues of ethics of artificial intelligence and free will/determinism. Osmar Zaiane “If we teach these machines ethics they will be more ethical than we are!”

“Elixir of Life, Magic, Technology and Medicine” by Lesley Cormack

Intriguing lecture by Lesley Cormack the Dean of Arts showing that the medicine of the Middle Ages was as “complete’ as the medicine of today, with answers to everything, treatments for everything. Gives one pause! Another possibility for expansion.

And Now on to Dr. Shawna Pandya!
